I am of the persuasion that the VMs is a project of Nicholas of Cusa, and it is true Cusanus identified with the symbolism of the astrological sign of Cancer, and took the red lobster/crayfish/crawfish as a heraldic emblem, but I don't detect his signature in the zodiacal illustrations in the Voynich. The case for a Cusanus authorship needs to be built on much firmer ground. I am sure, moreover, that Cusanus was not the illustrator. More likely, he provided commentary on a set of preprepared illustrations. So I don't expect personal signatures or self-references by Cusanus in the illustrations.
